I went back to basics today. On board flash and foam diffuser, didn't have any charged batteries for the Yongnuo.

Nothing like keeping it simple , just watch out for those dust spots

Yes, simple is good. Especially when it works.

What spots you talk ?
I know my sensor has some dust on the edges, and is due for a clean, but I hadnt noticed any on the photos I posted. (thats not to say there definitely is none though)
That spot thats on the eye of the front-on fly is a spot that was actually on its eye, I remember seeing it through the viewfinder.

Youve got better eyes than me.
​I am looking on my very ordinary work monitor at the moment. Will have a better look tonight on the mac.

This guy didn't want to cooperate with me for his photo shoot. He wanted to run away and I was surprised just how fast he was.

Way dark on my screen. The cropped version reminds me of the movie The Fly but with a bee.

No time to change lenses. He/she was warming up in the sunshine and about to fly away. I used the 18-200 on the D3200. Cheers, Brad

Two of insect on the same bush but one the shadow side the other on the morning-sun side. I am not that happy with the 55-300mm. Yes more practicing is the goal.
